Does anyone have a plan on how to monitor/track whether they are receiving from the secret? Should I even bother to track the progress or simply focus on acknowledging the change with gratitude? I ask because to date, I am not quite sure which one of the programs I have been listening to has delivered results. I shouldn't care but what if I stop listening to one of them and that is the one that was truly reprogramming my mind then what? Do I have to start all over again? I seem to have most faith in The Universal Mind and together with The Secret (or the teachings of Abraham) I can see it catapulting me to new heights. But while giving these a chance, I was going to shelf LS tapes for about 6 weeks (I know I am contradicting my earlier statement but I feel I owe The Secret a chance, especially the vision board which has gotten me so excited!). I am hesitating to give up LS program because I know 100% that NBG, PR and Prosperity have worked for me. I am grateful for all the intelligent and fitting answers that I am about to receive!

Perhaps it is easiest just to mark the stuff on your wanted list which has happened with a "strike through"?
I notice that what you wish for when using the "law of attraction" seems much more real than when you usually wishes for something. And do really believe I will get more money into my bank account later this year. We'll see.
If anything more on my list occurs I will report it in this thread.
To make it happen it is necessary to remove all negative thoughts. After seeing The Secret video the first thing I did was stop thinking about my debts and instead think of money and wealth(which would eliminate my debt). And sure enough, the money came. I will now get rid of all of my credt card debt and still have some money left.

For tracking, most teachers suggest keeping a journal (or just a little inexpensive notebook) that lists everything you've asked for, with space below to list the results. I'd suggest leaving a LOT of space, a whole page even, because sometimes the results are not exactly what you've asked for, but something far better. Recording HOW you got it can be a delight, too--it's often in a way you'd never, ever suspect!
As to which programs of the ones you're using can be thanked for your happy results--I'd say, "all of them." For one thing, I think many of these things work well together toward the same goal(s). For instance, not long ago I wanted to reach a certain goal, and was using some Silva methods for it. I was guided to use one of the paraliminal cds to assist. It worked. It wasn't a paraliminal I thought I "needed" but it showed me what I needed to see, and once that was done, doors opened.
That said, I also think there are some programs and techniques that might not work so well together, but the Secret, LSC, and Kelly Howell seem very compatible.

Yesterday (Monday), I watched the Secret DVD twice plus my local TV repeated Friday’s Oprah show which hosted 2 of the Secret teachers to discuss the Secret DVD for the 2nd time. I must say I am feeling quite OVERWHELMED and at one point, I thought I was ‘obsessing’ over it. My inundated feeling came from me cutting clippings from magazines to fill up my vision board in the bathroom. I have another one, with similar images which I have turned into my desktop wallpaper but was looking for more images to fill up my bathroom mirror (approx 5 ft x 3 ft), I think, because I have to step on the toilet seat to reach the top. Anyway, I think I am obsessing over it – not only that, someone recommended I use EFT on one of the areas which I want to resolve this year. While searching on EFT, I came across “Ask and It is Given” (yes, Esther Hicks from The Secret DVD). I must confess, all these available resources on the internet is driving me crazy! I have no idea how to slow down, settle down or take it easy. I was planning to stop LS programs then I panicked what if they are the only ones working. Anyway, my mind chatter goes on and on. So, I was wondering if someone wants to help keep me “sane”. I have started an excel spreadsheet where every day, I document my gratitude (this is something I have been doing from Tony Robbins days but not in excel, instead, I would send myself email reminders to state my gratitude out loud or silently). On documenting it on Excel, I have noticed that it is quite repetitive – I am grateful for the same things daily. Is that OKAY? What is helping also, are the 2 Quicktime videos that I have downloaded from The Secret Website (SecretToYou and Visualize). I have screensavers and wallpapers to remind me of my goals and where I want to be by March 31, 2007; July 1/07 and Dec 31/07. I have also stopped listening to the universal mind since yesterday and am substituting it for Kelly Howell’s http://www.brainsync.com/brain.asp?id=8&title=Fulfill-Your-Heart's-Desire Fulfil your Desires which is more in line with getting the vibrations to where I allow the gifts from the universe. You can see why I am feeling so overwhelmed! EFT, BrainSync, Teachings of Abraham, The Secret, Paul Scheele and of course Dennis Waitley subliminals. Pheeeewwwww! And now, someone at work, I was discussing The Secret with is telling me that I should get “What The Bleep” because it is similar to The Secret. Where does one get all the money from? The Universe? So, what is the point of this post? 1. Repetitive gratitude statements are okay or not? 2. Feeling overwhelmed, is this normal or am I setting myself up for failure? 3. How do I contain my enthusiasm? This morning, I took my lottery tickets to check if we (the workplace) won and my heart was flipping in anticipation! Honestly! 4. This is a bizarre question but if I desired, asked and allowed for different hair or nose or personality, is that possible too? Just “like that”? Today, so far, I have listened to Fulfilled Your Heart’s Desire and LS Positive Relationship. Currently, am listening to “EXCUSE ME! Your Life is waiting!” by Lynn Grabhorn.

Maybe it's time to just turn off all the cd players and take a little walk, or do some physical exercise of some sort? I think that sometimes we CAN reach a state of being overwhelemed, and what I've always done when I thought that was happening to me is--take a few steps back. I might read some "junk food for the mind" books, for instance, something totally unrelated to anything at all about self-improvement. (I love digging up old Dave Barry columns on the internet, for instance.) Sometimes I just do something horribly mundane, like fold the laundry. It will usually leave me with a clearer head, and at some point (it can be hours, days, or weeks depending), I return to the self-growth things.

I wouldn't overdo it. Watch the movie a lot in the beginning and "just" once a week after a while.
I see the movie once every other day now (I've downloaded the version with Esther Hicks from a P2P network) while waiting for the Extended Version from Amazon. Ordered it a few days ago. I am considering to order the book also. The version with Esther Hicks has been discontinued and is being sold as Used by people and other companies on Amazon from 80 dollars and up. Incredible.
After a while you will know the movie in and out and can focus on the Creative Process instead.
I understand that you in the beginning want to know as much as possible about The Secret. You can go to Youtube.com and watch recordings from talkshows about The Secret. Also search for more information about peoples manifestations on other forums (use Google).
With regards to Gratitude, I don't keep count of when I "say it" or think of it. Once in a while it just pops into my head what I am grateful for. I don't keep counts of my manfestations/visualizations neither.

Bjhn, Do you know why the Esther Hicks one was discontinued? I watched both versions and frankly, while the extended version gives you a wee bit more examples, the Esther Hicks version is the one that totally resonated with me, especially because of her, Dr. Beckwith (he comes across as so sincere, almost holy!) and John Assaraf (the Vision Board guy). And you know, I got spooked by Esther Hicks when she ‘claimed’ (?) Abraham was speaking through her, I thought what a weirdo! But I have since, so changed my mind about her – because whether it is true or not (about Abraham), they (J&E) are teaching the good stuff to better people’s lives so I relate more with her than with, if you will, Jack Canfield or Lisa Nichols.
Yes, you are right. Maybe I should now take it easy and don’t over do it. Then watch it like every other day or twice a week. But, I am keeping my grateful spreadsheet which also track my progress with LoA. I think it will keep me on track – and once I get used to expressing gratitude, maybe I will let go of writing every day and will switch to once a week or so.
Visualization Manifested! I wrote a law exam last week and a week prior to the exam, I missed a very important class which discussed the main topic in the exam. So the entire week after writing the exam, I visualized getting a score of 28 out of 30. Yesterday, when I got my exam paper back, I had received 26/30. I was disappointed and felt a twinge in my heart. And I recall saying, well, 26 is not bad, I am GRATEFUL it is still a great mark. When the professor was going through the paper discussing what he was expecting in answers, I realized, he forgot to mark one of the questions that I had answered. So I told him mid-class and to which he responded, “well you if answered “A” then I owe you two points!” And …yup! I had answered “A” – so I got my 28 out of 30! Can you believe my excitement?!!!! I kept saying thanks to the universe all night long! I was and am particularly excited about the mark because despite missing the core class, I aced the exam! I thought I should share my ‘little progress’ with the law of attraction.
